]]>Liam Neeson is a talented Irish actor, being considered one of the best actors in Hollywood at the moment. He was born on June 7, 1952, in Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, to a cook and a caretaker. At the early age of 11, he stepped on stage for the very first time, as a teacher gave him the lead in a school play. He instantly fell in love with the stage and continued acting in school productions in the following years. In 1977, after graduating from college, he got his first movie part, in the religious movie Pilgrim’s Progress. And the rest is history. Some of the most notable movies Liam is renowned for nowadays include Schindler’s List, Taken, Kinsey, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, The Chronicles of Narnia, Love Actually, Unknown, Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, and many others. While his career has always been on the spotlight, there are still many interesting facts that people do not know about Liam.

Especially for his fans, here are some of them. Many people will agree that Liam is not the most handsome man in the world. However, he has a great attitude that got him ranked as one of the sexiest movie stars for many years and by many publications worldwide, including Empire magazine. He also has a great sense of humor. When asked what he thinks about he looks, Liam replied: “I never think of myself as handsome--terribly attractive, yes, but not handsome”. And he sure is right! Having in mind that he was even considered for the role of James Bond in GoldenEye, he clearly has the looks.

Liam Neeson has the looks, the talent and the brains. He is not fond of tabloids and even sued several trials against newspapers claiming that his marriage was in trouble back in 1998. 2009 was a hard year for Liam, since it marked the death of his beloved wife Natasha Richardson. Few people know this, but Liam was a boxer in his teenage years. He even broke his nose at the age of 15 and blacked out after one of his fights, which caused him to give up this passion. Regarding his hobbies, Liam loves fly-fishing. He suffers from acrophobia and is a National Goodwill Ambassador to Ireland. As you can see, there is so much more to Liam Neeson than his looks and talent. He truly is a role model.

Moreover, Liam Neeson frequently portrays characters based on real people, such as Rob Roy, Oskar Schindler, Michael Collins or Alfred Kinsey.

]]>Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. Liam Neeson was born on 7 June, 1952 and it has Irish origin. He obtained American citizenship and before becoming an actor, he had jobs that were not at all related to that. Among his previous jobs were a lift operator and a truck driver, but it seems that Liam Neeson followed his dream of becoming an actor and he managed. Perhaps this proofs that if you wish something very much, in the end it will happen. The same thing happened with Liam Neeson, too. To manage that, Liam Neeson moved to Hollywood to have more chances to become an actor and he was lucky. One of his first roles were in Of Mice and Men, Excalibur, Nell, The Bounty, The Mission.

He also followed Queen’s University Belfast and played a lot of football, but never had the chance to be part from a great team although he was very talented. Other roles that he portrayed were in films such as Star Wars, Taken, After Life, Chloe. It seems that with each film, his success were getting higher and higher and his career was more and more in the spotlight. I also like that he was not involved in scandals, but he oriented only toward his career and family. His personal life remained private and he does not like to give too many details about that. Liam Neeson is a discrete person that built his career due to his fame and not through scandals and as the main subject of the tabloids. In a world where image is very important and people do anything for that, it seems that Liam Neeson is the exception, but a nice one.

Each film in which Liam Neeson acts, will certainly be a success and people go to cinema only when they find out he is one of the main actors, which is a proof that his popularity has not disappeared. Even today he is pretty old, Liam Neeson did not give up to another artistic projects. His talent has been awarded many times.

Liam Neeson was born June 7, 1952, in Northern Ireland. At the age of eleven, Liam Neeson stepped on stage for the first time. His English teacher gave him the lead role in a school play, which he accepted because the girl he was attracted to was starring too. From then on, Liam Neeson kept on acting. Liam Neeson’s first acting break came in 1980, when the director John Boorman saw him on stage. He starred in five films in the 1980s, alongside Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins.

Director Steven Spielberg was very impressed with Liam Neeson’s role in Nell and consequently offered him the coveted role of Oskar Schindler in the Holocaust movie, Schindler’s List. Liam Neeson was critically acclaimed and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. In my opinion, this role was one of the best of his career. Schindler’s List established Liam Neeson as a widely sought-after leading actor. The role of Oskar Schindler was perfectly calibrated by Liam Neeson. He transforms the character from a careless man, to a man who dedicates himself to saving more than 1000 lives. The selfishness imprinted on his face is so complete and unyielding that the audience immediately understands the extent to which Schindler is without scruples.

The facial expression of Liam Neeson hardly ever changes until he notices the liquidation of the ghetto.The way Liam Neeson calmly navigates Schindler through the encounters with Amon Goeth, masterfully interpreted by Ralph Fiennes, resembles a benefactor hiding under the guise of a businessman. Liam Neeson understood that Oskar Schindler was not a superhuman, he was just a man who had the vision to see the right thing in times of suffocating darkness, and to do the right thing when the opportunity arises. One thing is for sure, Liam Neeson is a wonderful and talented actor that conveys originality and a lot of feeling to his every role.

]]>Although Liam Neeson is almost sixty years old, he is by no means letting his age slow him down. On the contrary, Neeson’s career continues to be on the rise. Not only was 2010 a busy year for him, but 2011 and 2012 look to be just as active. If you’re a fan of Liam, there are and will be plenty of great new movies for you to enjoy.

While he didn’t appear in the movie, Liam lent his voice to The Wildest Dream. This is an amazing movie about a Mount Everest climber. Neeson’s first onscreen appearance of 2010 came in Clash of the Titans. If you’re looking for an awesome action movie, you won’t be disappointed by Liam’s portrayal of Zeus. His next 2010 movie was also an exciting action flick. He played Hannibal in The A-Team movie. After guest roles in two TV shows, his next movie was The Next Three Days. If you’re also a fan of Russell Crowe and Elizatbeth Banks, you will have a great time watching this movie. Neeson ended 2010 with another voice role as Aslan in the latest The Chronicles of Narnia movie.

Neeson’s big role in 2011 was as Dr. Martin Harris in the mysterious thriller Unknown. If you like movies that keep you on your toes, you will thoroughly like this movie. As an added bonus, Neeson’s co-star is the always lovely January Jones.

Liam currently has three big projects slated for 2012. These include The Grey, Battleship and Wrath of the Titans. In the last of these projects, he will be resuming his role as the powerful Zeus.

None have been as popular as Neeson’s role as the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn in the Phantom Menace.

Also upcoming is the sequel to Taken. The original film showed us the skills, assets and determination of the lead character, Bryan Mills. Filmed in Los Angeles, Taken 2 is sure to have as much action as the original. Neeson stars once again as CIA operative Bryan Mills and must rescue his ex-wife this time around. An expert in asset management software, Mills must rely on his skills again to save his family. The film is scheduled to be released in October 2012.
